It was supposed to be a golfer’s paradise.

Now, with a do-or-die deadline to approve a massive 300% water rate hike or face going completely dry, the Central California community of Diablo Grande is at a crossroads.

Now you can add water woes to the list of issues facing Diablo Grande. The community’s residents must approve a jaw-dropping water rate increase from $145 to $569 monthly — nearly a 300% jump — or watch their taps run dry on June 30.

Residents took over management of the water service in 2020, along with its mountain of debt. They face a June 30 deadline to approve the rate hike; otherwise, the agency says, water service to the development will be shut off.

Was there an article, or did you just want to stunt on people?
